I'm fairly certain he doesn't even realise, but as a Jew, I nonetheless can't help but feel a little bit offended, so I don't think it would be unreasonable for me to pick him up on it. The problem is, he's German. Is this a road which can only lead to disaster?

If there's no intention on his part to offend perhaps you ought to ask him to clarify what the symbol he's writing is, and explain that you find it a little confusing that the symbol appears to to bear little relation to psi.

Unless of course he's a closet Nazi, in which case you should kick him in the nuts.

is there any indication that he's trying to be anti-semitic? It seems more likely that he (in common with many uni lecturers) just has shit handwriting. But if you want to kick up a fuss and make a scene, go for it.
